the core will pick up a clockwise or counterclockwise magnetic field,

storing a 1 or 0.

This writing process also causes electricity to be

into nearby wires. If the new pulse being applied in the X-Y wires is
|
||||
the same as the last applied to that core, the existing field will do
|
||||
nothing, and no induction will result. If the new pulse is in the
|
||||
opposite direction, a pulse will be generated. This is normally
|
||||
picked up in a separate "sense" wire, allowing the system
|
||||
to know whether that core held a 1 or 0. As this readout process
|
||||
requires the core to be written, this process is known as
|
||||
<i>destructive
|

readout</i>, and requires additional circuitry to reset the core to
|
||||
its original value if the process flipped it.
